This invention appertains to .a new and useful article of manufacture for use in conjunction with bottles, and more especially beverage bot- The principal object of the present invention is to provide a jacket for beverage bottles which can be applied to the bottle with one portion serving as a wrapper in which the bottle can be held by the consumer, while the neck portion of the jacket can be twisted off, and in being twisted 01f serves to wipe the lip portion of the bottle clean.

Other important objects and advantages of the invention will become apparent to the reader of the following specification.

In the drawings:

Figure 1 represents a side elevational View of the jacket in use.

Figure 2 is a side elevational view of the jacket in use, showing the slight positive connection of the wiper section to the wrapper section.

Figure 3 is a side elevational view of the wrapper section on a bottle after the wiper section has been removed.

Figure 4 is a side elevational view of the jacket.

Figure 5 is a side elevational view of the jacket, looking at the opposite side from that shown in Figure 4.

Figure 6 is a plan View of the blank before being formed into a jacket.

Figure 7 is a section on the line 'l---'! of Figure 5.

Referring to the drawings wherein like numerals designate like parts, it can be seen that the jacket is made up of a single sheet of suitable material and this sheet is denoted by the nu meral 5. The sheet 5 has the flap portion 6. These portions 5-B are further defined as the wrapper and wiper sections of the jacket. The flap 6 is nearly severed from the sheet 5 by slits 'l-8 which extend, in the case of the slit 1, inwardly from the point a to terminate at 17, while the slit 8 starts .at the point and extends to the point d, the terminal points b-d being in close proximity. The flap 6 is of outwardly converging formation, more specifically of frustoconical shape. One longitudinal edge portion of the sheet is provided with mucilage 9 so that when the sheet -5 is folded to form the bag or jacket shown in Figures 4 and 5, the longitudinal edges of the sheet will be adhered together and also the longitudinal edge portions of the flap 6 will also be adhered together because of the adhesive margin IQ of the crepe paper liner II for the section 6.

The lower corners of the sheet 5 are preferably notched as at l 2, to facilitate opening of the jacket or bag when a bottle is to be inserted.

It can beseenthat the bottle is inserted as shown in Figure 1. The consumer grips the sheet portion 5, which forms the wrapper for the bottle and protects his hands against the cold temperature of the bottle and with his other hand twists the section 6 so that it breaks away from the section 5 and in this twisting movement, the crepe paper liner II for the section 6 will serve to wipe ofil the neck and lip portion of the bottle.

While the foregoing specification sets forth the invention in specific terms, it is to be understood that numerous changes in the shape, size and materials may be resorted to without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as claimed hereinafter.

Having described the invention, what is claimed as new is:

1. A bottle appliance of the character described comprising a lower wrapper section and an upper bottle mouth wiper section, said wrap-per and wiper sections being constructed from single sheet of tearable material, said sections being divided by slitting the sheet inwardly from one side edge to terminate adjacent the intermediate portion of the sheet, a second slit extending in substantial alignment with the first slit and toward the other side edge of the sheet, to terminate inwardly of the last-mentioned side edge of the sheet, the inner ends of the slits terminating in closed spaced relation toeach other to define a narrow connecting portion between the sections at the intermediate portions thereof, one side edge portion of each section being provided with a coating of adhesive adapted to adhere to uncoated edge portions of the sections.

2. A bottle appliance of the character described comprising a lower wrapper section and an upper bottle mouth wiper section, said wrapper and wiper sections being constructed from a single sheet of tearable material, said sections being divided by slitting the sheet inwardly from one side edge to terminate adjacent the intermediate portion of the sheet, a second slit extending in substantial alignment with the first slit and toward the other side edge of the sheet, to terminate inwardly of the last-mentioned side edge of the sheet, the inner ends of the slits terminating in closed spaced relation to each other to define a narrow connecting portion between the sections at the intermediate portions thereof, one side edge portion of each section being provided with a coating of adhesive adapted to adhere to uncoated edge portions of thesections, the wiper section end of the coated edge portion of the wrapper section being provided with a narrow extension adapted for disposition in overlapping relation with the wiper section and having an extensiol of adhesive coating thereon.
